That Report from, winsboro.


Editor HERALD.
We notice in the News of the 2lst
inst, O report of the discussion at
Winsboro on the night Of the 18th.
Said report is miserably one-sided.
1t states that at the close of Mr.. Chill
toms speech there was presented to
him a very fine bouquet made by
" the young ladies of Winsboro."
The truth is, at the close OF Mr..
Yoakum's speech, there was shower
of bouqets thrown at him, (Yoakum)
and amid the roar of applause little
girl mounted the stage and presented
to him an exquisitely woven and large
bouquet. The cheering and bouquets
together so crushed Mr.. Chiffon that
he arose and with evident embarrass-
ment managed to collect his senses so
as 10 repeat Mary had little lamb
etc. We are told that at the close of
Mr.. Chilton's reply to Mr.. Yoakum,
(Which, however, was not SO much a
reply as reitteration of former as
sertions,) he, (ChiltoD did receive a
bouquet, but there was quite a num-
Der OF persons in the hall at that time
who saw it, and it was not made by
"the young ladies of Winsboro !"

sympathizers in Winsboro.

A Fishy Shark Story.

A Florida pilot tells big stories of the
sharks which abound in the sea between
Pensacola and Fort Pickens and the un-
fortunate sailors and soldiers they have
eaten up. I'D just as soon try to swim
lake of red hot pitch as to swim over
from Pensacola to Fort Pickens" The
sharks would be sure to get him. I've
seen 'em moving around on the bot
tom like a drove of hogs. They gener,
ally swim slowly when not chased, but
they can work up a tremendous race
when they are chased, and I've seen one
jump twenty feet i'll the air" He fur.
Their remarked: "Some time ago a
Spanish gunboat dropped in there and
the officers amused themselves with
shark fishing. They ls:d quite circus,
They would take small dynamite car

it to float and VI ire and send it 200 feet

Trick of the Cook.

Napoleon had cook whose ability to
cope with an emergency made him
worthy servant of the great soldier. The
following anecdote illustrates the cul
mary tactics of the cook, which enabled
him to be always prepared.
Napoleon's constant dish at breakfast
was roast chicken. But lie was SO un-
certain in his breakfast hour that some
times the meal would be served as early
as eight o'clock, and sometimes as late
as eleven. Yet the roast chicken was
always ready and always done to turn.
The fact surprised Napoleon, and one
morning he sent for the cook.
II do not know how it is" said he.
"bu+ ct whatever hour I call for my
breakfast my chicken is always ready,
and always in good condition"
'"Sire, answered the man of culinary
genius, "the reason is that every quar-
ter of an hour I put fresh chicken
down to roast, so that Your Majesty is
sure always to have it in perfection.

The Dome of st. Peters.

An important piece of work has just
been brought to q successful conclusion
in Rome, in the complete renewal of the
leaden envelope of the dome of St.
Peters church in Rome. It has occu.
pied twelve years, and has cost owe,
200, 900 lire, about $4,000. The org.
inal covering was applied to the dome
in an imperfect fashion, which made
continuous repairs a necessity, and al
last it was determined to strip off the
whole envelope and substitute new
one on better system. New lead was
imported from Spain and mixed with the
old lead in the proportion of one part
Of old to two parts of new. The total
weight of the new cover is given q,

Mr.. Wellsby is commercial traveller,

subjected at times to nervousness.
Seated with several vivacious acqusint-

roars of merry laughter and say:
